Abstract
However one conceives global justice - in a more cosmopolitan and individualistic or a more anti-cosmopolitan and communitarian fashion - its realisation in practice is bound to be made difficult by various conflicts of interest and conflicts of values. The confusing world order that is emerging before our eyes, in which tendencies towards political and ideological multipolarisation coexist with growing interdependence resulting from economic and cultural globalisation, carries with it little promise of imminent de-escalation of the current transnational conflicts of interest and conflicts of values.
In this chapter I suggest that the transformation of conflicting identity narratives may be one possibility of easing transnational conflicts, thus paving the way to peaceful co-existence and constructive collaboration across ethnic, national, cultural and religious borders.
